Stylish White Gold Cocktail Ring with Aquamarine & Diamonds, c. 1970

Jewellery from the late 1960s and 1970s is often very clear and abstract, even futuristic. After the organic forms of the mid-century, a new desire for geometry returned in the age of the race to the moon. The frames of the designs left behind the heavy lust for the shiny yellow gold of late Art Deco and increasingly dissolved into a mesh of white gold rods. The colours used in jewelry design moved in an equally cool, modernist spectrum. White gold became the most sought-after precious metal in the years around 1970, accompanied by diamonds and a preference for blue gemstones such as sapphire or aquamarine. The cocktail ring with aquamarine, flanked by diamonds in white gold, may even be considered one of the most popular jewels of the time. This is a typical example of this elegant genre. An impressive emerald-cut aquamarine is set in the center of the design. The gemstone of around 18.00 carats is clear and brilliant in an intense blue. It is so clear, in fact, that the skin shines through it slightly when worn. The brilliant-cut diamonds flanking it on the right and left and the luxurious white gold showcase the center stone to great effect. The ring is glamorous and yet not overloaded due to its abstraction. It presents the aquamarine high above the finger and is a shining delight. A glamorous jewel from the era of the cocktail hour, wonderfully preserved and wearable!
